Comparative analysis of consistency of adaptations to interval interventions individualized using sport-specific techniques in well-trained soccer players by Hongjun Zhang, Sheng Li, Bingyuan Yang

“…Abstract This study aimed to investigate the uniformity of adaptive changes in cardiorespiratory fitness and anaerobic power to high-intensity interval interventions (HIIT) designed using techniques specified for soccer players. Thirty well-trained athletes (age = 25 ± 3.1 years; body mass = 82.4 ± 3.4 kg; height = 183 ± 2.1 cm) were randomly assigned to two experimental groups engaging in interval intervention individualized using 30–15 Intermittent Fitness Test [HIITvIFT (two sets of 5–8 min intervals, comprising 15 s of running at 95% of VIFT followed by 15 s of passive recovery)], and small-sided game with matched timing (SSG [4 sets of 2.5–4 min 3 v 3 efforts]), as well as an active control group. …”
